Major changes in today's world have made renowned authors recognize that the existing strategic models are not providing adequate solutions to deal with society's changing problems. The present research effort aims to understand the strategic problem and develop a concise study of the internal and external aspects of strategic problem dynamics, taking as a starting point the approaches inherent in complexity theory. As a result, it was found that organizations are the products of couplings between two or more separate systems; they couple to the socio‐human system, and these, to the rest of the planetary dynamics. As a last analysis, this configuration is strongly analogous to the dynamics based on symbiosis, found recently in biology. This latter approach suggests that it is an inspiring, important and useful metaphor for the improvement of theoretical frameworks in management
